The car was still the same one as last time, but Mai Xiaoyu's mood was obviously different from last time.
My heart felt lighter than ever before, as if I was floating on the clouds.
So she naturally didn't notice that at some point, a taxi got behind the car.
She didn't even know that the two men in black in front of the car immediately checked the information of the people in the car behind.
As the younger brother of the guest of honor, Mai Chenggong was not deliberately obstructed and successfully followed outside Yunxi Palace.
Although we have not entered it and cannot see the entire palace, from outside the walls, we can intuitively see how vast the area is and how tightly guarded it is.
Mai Chenggong could not suppress the ecstasy in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Mai Xiaoyu could actually cling to the people living in this place.
Even if the other person is a dying old man, even if Mai Xiaoyu is a mistress, he and his father will not mind at all.
He wandered outside the wall and the main gate, thinking how to stop his sister and get a steady stream of benefits from her.
In the main hall, Mai Xiaoyu saw Xi Mu again.
He was standing in front of the window, his back turned to himself.
"We meet again. Miss Mai." Simu turned around.
He motioned for Mai Xiaoyu to sit on the sofa beside him, and he sat down on the opposite side.
The maid poured tea as clear as red wine for the two of them.
Mai Xiaoyu picked up the white and transparent tea cup and took a sip.
The tea was mellow and smooth, with a sweetness as if soaked in frost and snow, soothing her throbbing heart.
"Mr. Xi, do you also like tea?" Mai Xiaoyu asked.
During this time, she had seen relevant news on the Internet and learned Ximu's true identity.
"This Pu'er tea is produced on a mountain nearly three thousand meters above sea level. It is cooked in snow water, so it has a special taste." Ximu introduced.
"Mr. Xi has really good taste." Mai Xiaoyu laughed: "This tea also suits my taste."
Simu did not answer, but remained silent.
Seeing this, Mai Xiaoyu asked, "How is the progress between your friend and the lady he likes?"
"There has been some progress." He sighed softly: "But there has been a new situation recently."
Half an hour later, Mai Xiaoyu was politely sent downstairs by the maid.
Outside the main hall, she saw Tao Zhi's family who were also preparing to leave in a car.
They were all Mr. Xi's guests. Everyone nodded politely to each other and boarded their cars.
"Ms. Mai." The driver reminded her, "In the bag in your hand is a thank you gift from your husband."
Sure enough, there was a white paper bag on the back seat, with two cakes of tea inside, plus a heavy box that was square in size for the palm of your hand.
Mai Xiaoyu opened the box and was stunned.
The golden light flashed in the box, and there were two shining gold ingots.
Each gold ingot weighs a pound, no wonder the box is so heavy.
The universal value of gold is the hard currency that everyone loves.
But Mai Xiaoyu was not happy because this was completely different from what she expected.
"Sir, he was very satisfied with Miss Mai's consultation, so he instructed us to prepare an extra thank you gift." The driver explained: "The two tea cakes are the one you tasted just now, and the gold ingots are also 49 pure gold."
"In addition, your consultation fee is quite a lot and will be credited to the card from the previous visit."
Mai Xiaoyu didn't want to accept these two gold ingots. They represented naked value, which seemed to indicate that the relationship between her and Mr. Xi was just a pure transaction, which made her very unhappy.
"I'll accept the tea." She put the box in the car: "But I can't have the gold."
"Ms. Mai." The driver said calmly, "Sir, you never like rejection."
His tone was taken for granted, without any threat at all, but it made Mai Xiaoyu feel a chill inexplicably.
"By the way, there is a man named Mai Chenggong outside who has been waiting for you. Do you want to stop the car to meet him?"
Mai success? Mai Xiaoyu was stunned. How did he find this place?
"I'm not familiar with him." She said every word: "No need to stop, let's go directly."
"As you wish."
Mai Chenggong knew his sister's temperament very well, so he rushed directly to the car with his arms wide open like a desperado.
Unfortunately, he didn't understand the guard at the door.
Mai Chenggong was only two meters away from the car. The car was moving forward without losing any speed.
The guard closest to him was twenty meters away.
He was very sure in his heart that Mai Xiaoyu would call the car at the last moment and would not hurt him at all.
But the fact is that before the car reached him, he was gently picked up by a hand and then thrown out.
Mai Chenggong's body was thrown in an arc in the air, and with a cry of terror, he landed on the big-leaved boxwood tree a hundred meters away.
It was a low evergreen shrub with a rounded surface, so he was completely unscathed.
Mai successfully jumped up quickly and looked around, but where was the shadow of the car?
"Bah!" Mai Chenggong spat: "You are a heartless and unjust thing! If you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple. Just wait for me!"
Taiyi Technology Headquarters Building. Sheng Jialin is chairing a meeting to listen to the reports of each department for the first three quarters and the outlook for the fourth quarter.
After each department has finished speaking, she will comment on the gains and losses, and put forward constructive suggestions and opinions.
"The next development direction of smartphones is too conservative. We are Taiyi, not others. Being prudent and conservative means falling behind and being overtaken by others." She talked eloquently:
"There are also batteries. Miao Technology's new energy projects have been implemented and are about to be put into production and put on the market - do you still have lithium batteries in your new projects?"
She unceremoniously threw the report in her hand out and landed it in front of the sweating department head.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Sheng Jialin's assistant ran up to her and handed her the phone.
Sheng Jialin didn't answer.
"Didn't I tell you not to answer anyone's phone calls during the meeting?" She frowned.
"But this is a call from Mr. Xi Musi. You said before that whenever he calls, you must answer it immediately."
Xi Mu? Sheng Jialin's heart moved.
It had been so long since their last meeting, and she thought about contacting him, but she held back.
Getting on the pole is not a business, she understood this ten years ago.
But being able to delay calling her until now meant that Xi Muke could really keep his composure - he was indeed someone she and her father had high hopes for.
"Mr. Xi." Sheng Jialin's tone was very calm, neither particularly enthusiastic nor particularly cold.
"Miss Sheng." Xi Mu's special voice penetrated directly into her heart: "I want to go to various places in China for inspection. I wonder if I can invite you... to go with me?"
"We can discuss deeper cooperation between Miao Technology and your company during the inspection."
A bright smile appeared on the corners of Sheng Jialin's lips.
"With pleasure," she replied.
